I love coming to estimes . It is a small friendly establishment that puts out quality food. You can tell they take pride in everything he serves. Potentially some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. We come back all the time.

Came across this place looking for brunch on a Monday morning, the service & quality of food end up being really good. The lemon ricotta pancake is a must have. Definitely will stop by again.

Love this place! We were in the area looking for a place to eat. Could not pass up the opportunity to rave about this little gem! Every thing was delicious. Grits with cheese-so yummy. Homemade berry jam so delish! Service was amazing! Server was so sweet! Everything you could ask for. Highly recommend!!!

Food was excellent a little pricey, but worth every penny. Great variety for breakfast/brunch. Staff was excellent, owner came to greet and converse with customers.

Came her on a Sunday for brunch after a church retreat, my friend found it. It's quaint with a bar and nice decor. And it's Haitian owned. Also it's Byob. Nice staff but our young waitress needs more training.
My friend spoke to the owner as we waited to be seated who was very nice. We sat and i posted the salmon and grits, my friend had the shrimp n grits. I Also ordered the pumpkin spice pancake with amaretto sauce.
Pumpking spice pancake was good didn't really taste like pumpkin and the sauce I couldn't tell what flavor it was. But I like how I could order a single pancake as opposed to a stack. The pancake was also cooked well.
The salmon n grits was good; grits a li'l too runny and salmon a small portion. I liked that it was covered in sauce because, I love a lot of sauce on my food. Everything was cooked well; no overwhelming spices-more amercanized.
My friend liked her Shrimp n grits but didn't like it so runny. The shrimp was good. She wanted to try the catfish but it ran out. She also had the Ameretto brioche French toast and that was good.
All in all good experience I wiggly reccomend it for brunch. The dj was good.

I recently moved a few blocks away from Estime’s Café and kept hearing from friends in Jersey that it’s a great brunch spot. After finally trying it, I can say they were right I really enjoyed myself there. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Coming from NYC where brunch for two can easily run $150+, my total here was under $80 for two people, which was a nice surprise.
The only downside for me was the service, and I’ll chalk it up to an off day. I asked my server for a recommendation between the French toast and the lemon ricotta pancakes, and the response I got felt a little dismissive just “I guess people order the pancakes” without much insight. I personally believe if you work in a restaurant, being familiar with the menu (even if you don’t eat everything yourself) makes a big difference when guests ask for suggestions.
That said, everything else about the experience was great — good food, fair prices, and a nice vibe. I’m planning to come back soon with the kids because I know they’ll enjoy it too. Overall, Estime’s Café is absolutely worth trying.

Great food! The shrimp and grits are amazing. Our party also enjoyed the lamb chops, hot honey chicken and French toast. Great service as well.

My husband and I come to Estimes at least twice a week, and we’re always impressed. The owners and the staff are truly wonderful people who make us feel so welcome every time. The food is simply excellent.. always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Highly recommended!!

This is going to become one of my favorite places. The food was absolutely delicious. The menu had many options and you know a place is great and the coffee is delicious. I had the lobster And cheese grits and my husband had the salmon and grits and both were absolutely delicious. I’ll be back soon.
